Leicester top of the table now

This is wonderful. City are brutal at the back.

my streams have been all over the place, but its seemed like neither has sterling, i've barely heard his name all game.

Lol maybe another 200m.

Flat track bullys are all this team is. He has one way of playing and clueless when it doesn't work.

Plasandrunt · 27-09-2020 05:09PM

Surprised about how little criticism Rodri gets compared to others, he is dirt

Fromvert · 27-09-2020 05:14PM

These City players are hilarious when the ball comes into the box, they've no idea what to do.

Harry Palmr · 27-09-2020 05:15PM

Ake and then another peno! 5-2 or 2-5

pjohnson · 27-09-2020 05:16PM

Leicester without Ricardo or Ndidi. City got lucky.

Esse85 · 27-09-2020 05:17PM

I was thinking who James Madison looks like.

Former spurs and Leicester goalie Ian Walker.

marklazarcovic · 27-09-2020 05:18PM

Delighted for Brendan Rodgers too,tactics spot on

Osmosis Jones · 27-09-2020 05:18PM

Can someone let the City defenders know that "tactical fouling" doesn't extend to inside the box?

MisterAnarchy · 27-09-2020 05:21PM

Only for Covid delaying last season till August, I'm convineced Pep would have walked away after getting knocked out of the Champions league.
I'm sure the new £50m defender will solve the defensive woes.

Harry Palmr · 27-09-2020 05:22PM

Biggest goals conceded tally at home in about 20 years

ERG89 · 27-09-2020 05:22PM

How many penalties have been given this season so far?
Must be averaging one a game now.

DM_7 · 27-09-2020 05:22PM

City nothing like the team they were in terms of intensity and when they lose the ball they are so open it suits sides like Leicester or Palace.

No Aguero or Jesus compounds the problem.

Interesting that so many teams involved in late stages of Europe last season have had a hard time of it this weekend - United (w), City (L), Real (w), Bayern (L), Lyon (D), RB Leipzig (D), Inter Milan (W), Chelsea (D), Valencia (D), Bayer Leverkusen (D), FC basel (L).

Agent Coulson · 27-09-2020 05:23PM

Pep looks burnt out after just two games, I wonder would he walk if the pressure gets to him.

99% certain it's 20 now after Leicester's 3.

25 games played.

No fans mean that they can keep giving soft penalties.
If the fans were there the refs and Var wouldnt be so keen to award them as the Refs would be constantly booed.

Incredible stuff. That's the type of result that gets a manager fired.

Agent Coulson · 27-09-2020 05:27PM

Poch could have the pick of jobs soon.

Frank & Ole in over their heads and Pep looking burnt out,

PSG as well could soon be knocking on his door.

Or an extra £100 million in this case.

xtal191 · 27-09-2020 05:30PM

Liverpool are gonna walk the league again

marklazarcovic · 27-09-2020 05:31PM

He simply cannot coach a defensive side to his game pep,if plan a does not work (it usually does) then his side's are in trouble.

RasTa · 27-09-2020 05:31PM

Today's goals aside do people on here still think Kane is better than Vardy? Vardy is 33 ffs

Have you that the right way round?

Agent Coulson · 27-09-2020 05:36PM

25 games so far this season and 21 penalties have been awarded.

Gretas Gonna Get Ya! · 27-09-2020 05:36PM

It must be infuriating being a man city fan, watching them pass the ball sideways for most of that match!

That's not intelligent football. Passing for the sake of it with little or no penetration - even when Leicester gave them opportunities to break forward quickly, they still usually chose to slow the game down and play the easy safe pass!

Hopefully more teams will show up Pep's one-dimensional tactics.

How many for hanball? I cannot see the current rules on that lasting much longer.

The rest are partly down to rustiness.
